Double vs single mastectomy
Hi There I went through chemo, single mastectomy and now going through radiation. Path reports came back clear after surgery, doing radiation as a precaution. 6 mos from now I am getting reconstruction. Still have option to get other breast removed if I want, even though there is no cancer there. Any

Feeling Worried
Had mastectomy 18/12 ( Grade 2 ER neg. Her pos. one positive node ) MRI before surgery found no problems. Wound infection (skin only ) Seroma. Infection pretty much cleared with penicillin type antibiotic which I took for ten days... really felt ill with that. No appointment with Oncologist yet. Apparently

Lap on Thursday - very anxious!
Hi all, I think I’ve bored everyone now, but my lap is on Thursday and am scared shitless!! I will have complete excision (except bowels if they are affected) and partial cystectomy because the endo pierced my bladder badly! I’m scared of being out for many hours, of the catheter pain, of having a bag

Hello! I'm Linda from Seattle; diagnosed with Stage IV with bone mets after 17 years. My original cancer was stage 1; very small tumor in right breast; I opted for double mastectomy and had no sign of cancer in sentinel nodes on both sides, nor in remaining breast tissue following removal of both breasts

Is this lymphedema?
Hi all Happy New Year! In 2004 I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer with lymph node involvement on the right hand side.

I had implants removed. I experience numbness & tightness in my chest area. Dr's all say this is normal nerve

Today is six years since my initial surgery for a left sided mastectomy. I remember feeling scared, confused and unsure if my future. I was relieved when the surgery was over and then began the battle! Four months of chemo, injections for the tissue expander, another surgery for reconstruction and then
